    Janchi Guksu (Warm Korean Noodles). A delicious comforting bowl of chewy noodles with soft boiled egg on top and a spicy kimchi sauce. Perfect for lunch or dinner.

    This dish is something I really enjoy making when I am craving a bowl of warm Korean noodles. I love drinking the soup with the chewy noodles and that spicy kimchi green onion sauce is the best when paired with this dish. And oh that soft boiled egg on top just brings all the flavours together.

    This Korean janchi guksu recipe was adapted from Maangchi.com. I absolutely love her YouTube Channel and I make a lot of her recipes. She's inspired me to feel confident in cooking Korean food at home. I hope you check out her blog and YouTube channel, she's absolutely adorable!

    Janchi Guksu (Warm Korean Noodles)

    I made some changes to this Korean noodles recipe. One of which is not using the anchovy stock. I know that's the authentic way of making this recipe but I'm sorry I really can't handle the smell of anchovy stock inside my house lol. And I'm sure many others can agree.

    Anytime a recipe calls for that, I have to cook it outside or my husband will complain non-stop haha. By replacing the anchovy stock with a vegetable stock, it definitely makes this recipe a lot easier and more accessible to all.

      Mmm you had me at chewy noodles. I always under cook my ramen because I love to keep the chewiness there

        Yes undercooking that ramen is so key! Just 2 minutes total is all it takes!
